I have the exact same problem and I can totally relate to how you feel. I know how it can ruin every area of a person's life. Relationships, finances, career - everything. My procrastination goes hand-in-hand with my drinking and drugging.

I'm reading The Now Habit by Neil Fiore and I highly recommend it. It talks about the root causes of procrastination and how to overcome them. Procrastination, like drinking and drug use, is just a dysfunctional way to cope with anxiety. In the case of procrastination it's the anxiety associated with starting or completing a task or decision.
